Web Browsers - What do you use and does it work for you?

[LHammonds]

What browser do you use, how you use it and does it do what you want it to?

 

I use Mozilla Firefox at home and ensured it was installed on the 300 PCs I manage at work as the default browser.

 

The browser add-ons I consider required gear are:

 

* NoScript - Blocks all scripts on web pages to stop malware in its tracks

* Adblock Plus - Blocks annoying flash animations

 

Add-ons that work well for me personally are:

 

* WebMail Notifier - Let's me know when mail arrives in my GMail, Yahoo and Hotmail accounts.

* Web Developer - Great set of tools for....web development.

 

Firefox has worked very well for me (and my company) since the version 1.0 release. For any sites that REQUIRE Microsoft Internet Explorer, we create shortcuts on their desktop to access them and all other browsing must be done via Firefox. This has reduced the number of infected PCs quite drastically since Firefox was rolled out and configured as the default browser.

 

This browser has done very well but even though I really like what they are doing, if it becomes problematic like IE due to its popularity, I have no problem switching to another browser that will get the job done and flies under the radar. ;)

I've tried IE and Google Chrome but right now Im using Mozilla.

 

IE: It's okay. I used this until, for some reason, when I clicked on links, they stopped working unless I kept pressing refresh for about 5 mins.

 

GC: Used this for a bit. I didn't need to refresh it for links to work but I didn't like the layout and I also didn't like the fact that I could only have 1 homepage.

 

Mozilla: Love it. Add ons are a nice feature and so are the themes. The layout is good and easy to use. I don't really like downloading things using FF though, because, for example, if Im downloading a patch or update, I only get the option to save. I'd prefer it if it let me just run the file instead.

I'm also a Firefox user, both NoScript and Adblock Plus installed.

 

I'm quite happy with it; it's a lot faster and whole lot safer than IE. :happy:

Woot go firefox and adblock :thumbsup: , no script can be a pain at times.

 

One thing with me, for some reason using E, uploading youtube links don't show up correctly, that's why i use Firefox.

 

xp and win7 have the same issue.

I use Mozilla Firefox with a few add-ons (Adblock plus, Greasemonkey, and Search preview). Works perfectly.

This theme makes it look good too :)

My eyes are light-sensitive so FireFox is pretty much my only choice because of the dark skins and ability to force websites to use dark colors.

AdBlock Plus and NoScript, Download Helper, All-in-One Sidebar are the plug-ins I use.

Chromium. It's much better than the others I've tried (Chrome, Mozilla, Safari, IE), and the "New Tab" screen is something that shows pictures of 8 websites of your choosing as links to the website.

Well I too use Mozilla Firefox it does everything perfectly and runs Java scripts quickly, problem is uploading sites such as Mega upload, it's very picky and works some days and others it just plays up. that's the only problems I have experienced up to now ;)
